Public prayer is a difficult thing, especially for one who is leading worship.  It takes a lot of work to do it well.  And perhaps the biggest struggle for many is that it also takes a vibrant prayer life at home.  I just bought a copy of The Pastor in Prayer which is a collection of pastoral prayers Charles Spurgeon gave during worship services.  It’s quite humbling to hear how this man devoted to prayer was able to lead his flock in worship.  I purchased the book on a recommendation of Carl Trueman’s and I’d like to pass the recommendation on myself.  Get a copy and while you’re at it, get the The Valley of Vision to read at home if you don’t have one already.
